Attendance Zoning

  • GISD zoned our school boundaries to optimize student capacity at our facilities while accommodating for our district’s student growth. Recognizing that GISD is a fast growth district, our intent is to develop boundaries that will allow us to rezone in a manner that has the least impact on students.  

    Goals:

    • 

Create attendance zones that utilize the student capacity of existing and new facilities.

    • Create vertical feeder patterns for all campuses across the district.

    • Minimize the impact on students and families.


    Considerations 

    1. Demographics

    2. Feeder Patterns

    3. Transportation

    4. Future Growth-Projections

    5. Special Programs
